- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
Here’s a riddle for you: It’s Tuesday night in the Valley. You’re hungry, itching for some delightful company, and in dire need of entertainment. You could go to a movie, spend a few hours watching talented performers bring fantasy to life, and maybe end up with a few popcorn kernels permanently wedged between your molars…or you could enjoy the greatest show in all of NoHo. Where do you go?
That’s right! You haul your butt down to Idle Hour for the best quiz in the quizness…KING TRIVIA!
33 teams arrived this balmy evening with a deep and insatiable hunger…for victory.
The first half of the game was dominated by a massive 10-way tie, with veteran and newbie teams unwilling to let up on those doubles. Suddenly, as the half ended, Bang Bang and We’re the Problem stepped out of the group setting and into a duo at the top of the stack! But the top fifteen teams were still only points apart.
For our drinking round, we asked our teams devious questions about the global vacation situation. LHS Class of 2014 had the geographical knowledge to knock out the competition and earn the free shots.
It took another two rounds before Breakfast All Day—back from their long absence—rose into a solitary lead. But the top ten teams were all within 5 points of one another. It was going to be an epic photo finish.
Our winners for the night were Breakfast All Day, We’re the Problem it’s Us, and Legally Distinct Branding!

Oh there can’t be nothing finer than some trivia in a diner in the…eeeeeevening! That’s right, it’s Tuesday night, which means more KING TRIVIA here at Idle Hour in NoHo. 33 teams arrived for a showdown of epic proportions as newbies and veterans said yes to our quizzical quest with 7 rounds of the best game in town.
The first half of the game was a monster of a tie, whittling down round after round until we finally have a 7-way split going into the half.
During the Drinking Round, we paid homage to the challenges of decent penmanship for National Handwriting Day. POOR THINGS, eager to grab a little liquid encouragement, knocked it out of the park for the big win.
It wasn’t until Round 5 that we finally had a leader. Alemany stepped up with a powerful double, eager to lock in for the final stretch. But Breakfast All Day was quick to step in during Round 6, leapfrogging into a safe position. With the top ten teams only points away from one another, it would all come down to a little geopolitickin’!
Our winners for the night were Barnes and Noble Permanent, Last Bus to Nutley, and Alemany!

With a brief respite from the frigid temperatures, it was the perfect evening for some epic trivia. Fortunately, Idle Hour knows just what NoHo needs…and that’s seven rounds of the best game in the business: KING TRIVIA!
26 teams arrived for the delicious food, delightful drinks, and diabolical questions of our patented trivia format.
It only took Trivial Pursuit of Dat Ass two rounds to step into the top spot, but they were followed closely by veterans of the Idle Hour arena. It was destined to be a heck of a scrum.
We’re the Problem wasn’t satisfied to be left in the dust. They managed to tie in the third, and steal the lead in the fourth. By Round 5, they were 12 points ahead on a crazy double down.
During our Drinking Round, we paid respects the best snack grade schoolers could hope for: Fig Newtons! With some amazing guesswork the 69ers took home the free shots.
With only a few rounds left, it was going to come down to risky doubles and plenty trivia trouble. Bernie Maximus laid into the accelerator and drove all the way to second place with only a single round to spare. It was going to be a photo finish!
Our winners for the night were We’re the Problem It’s Us, Bernie Maximus, and Grandma’s Ghost!
